Impact of life origins on metabolism
Vazquez, A.
Show abstract
Living organisms are defined by self-replication and self-confinement. We expect these two properties to shape the metabolic capabilities of cells. Here I demonstrate that the maximum growth rate of cells is, in a first approximation, the geometric mean between the maximum rate of ribosome self-replication and the maximum rate of macromolecular synthesis allowed by the interior volume defined by the cell membrane. I also show how these constraints are buried into the biomass compositions of flux balance models.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
